I've heard that the Continental ContiExtremeContact is very quiet and has very good performance. Should work excellent in rain/snow. Another tire I've heard good things about is the Toyo Proxes 4 all season UHP tire. Only negative I've heard about this tire is that most people think it would have marginal performance in the snow (compared to other ASUHP tires).
Worn edges could be caused by out of spec camber or by out of spec toe. Did you install camber adjustment bolts in the rear? IMHO, "reputable shop" is almost meaningless these days. Did they give you a print out of the final alignment values? If not, you should go back there and get it. Proper specs for the rear are +/- 0.125" of toe (with 0 inches being preferable) and around -0.6 to -1.2 deg of camber (with -1 deg being a reasonable comprimise between performance, and non-uniform tire wear).
